Another New Railroad.

At a meeting of capitalists held in this city yesterday a company was formed to construct and equip a railroad to be known as the New York and Chicago railroad, the corporation to have a capital stock of ten million dollars. The road will be two hundred miles long, and will run from the east line of Allen county, Indiana, in a northwesterly direction, via Fort Wayne, to the State line between Illinois and Indiana. JEt will pass thro* the counties of Allen, Whitley, Huntington, Wabash, Miami, Kosciusko, Marshall, Fulton, Pulaski, Starke, Jasper, Porter and Lake. The following are the officers: President, C. S, Brice; vice president, Wm. Fleming; treasurer, Samuel Thomas, secretary, James E. Neal. Directors: Samuel Thomas, George I. Senny, Walston H. Brown, C. R. Cummings, W. B. Howard, Wm. Fleming, James E. Neal, and J- A, Latcher. It will be seen that the incorporat ors of the road are stockholders of the Lake Erie and Western, and that they contemplate making a connection of the two roads, thereby form* ing a through line to New York. -Indianapolis Journal.
